How is AI and machine learning shaping research at Lund University today – and where is it headed?
Join us for a half-day fika-to-fika event where researchers and companies share their current work spanning mathematical foundations, applied machine learning, social robotics, and more. Through short talks, open Q&A sessions and a hands-on workshop, you will get concrete insights into ongoing projects, fresh perspectives on the field, and plenty of time to connect with colleagues over fika and lunch.
This event is hosted by the LU eScience Hub and WASP Lighthouse at Lund University and is open to anyone at LU with an interest in AI and machine learning.
When: Monday 28 September 2026, 10:00–15:30
Where: Lundmarksalen, Astronomy Building, Lund University
Audience: Researchers, teachers, PhD students and staff interested in AI and practical Agentic AI workflows
Format: Short talks + Q&A, workshop, fika and lunch
